Gu Mozhi’s unexpected “No” not only stunned the players, even the female ghost froze for a long time, then angrily questioned, “Is this your way of treating guests?”
The system had previously said that night watchmen should treat guests who come to pay their respects properly. Therefore, the “guest” in front of them could not be neglected.
The players panicked instantly. Could it be that they really had to allow this female ghost to enter?!
Gu Mozhi watched coldly, unmoved. The female ghost was furious, and she stretched out her water-swelled claws. Unexpectedly, she had five long and thin sharp nails, which looked quite hard to mess with at a single glance. She scratched at Gu Mozhi violently, her strikes were quick and ruthless.
“Boom—”
“Ahh!!!”
The next second, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground and screams sounded at the same time.
The little girl had subconsciously closed her eyes a long time ago, and the hem of the clothes she was holding in her hand was clutched tightly. She waited for a long time, but there was no more movement, and there was only a dead silence in the air. She opened her eyes anxiously and looked over, for fear of seeing the elder brother’s dead body on the spot.
As a result……
Outside the door, the swollen female ghost lay down across the street with a dazed expression on her face, getting hurt by the bean-sized raindrops. And inside the door of the mourning hall, that particularly impolite “human” boy was standing on one foot, slowly and methodically rubbing the foot that had kicked her out on the threshold a few times.
Gu Mozhi frowned even tighter. This female ghost was covered in sewage, and it had stained the soles of his shoes. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and rushed over to kick the female ghost out before she entered the hall, otherwise all the dirty water would have entered into the house.
After rubbing the sole of his shoe, he looked down at the ground splashed by a few drops of water, and said unhappily to the female ghost outside the door: “You are very dirty, will you take responsibility for scrubbing the floor if it gets dirty?”
Female ghost: “…” I want to swear, but I can’t. How angry!
“Wipe off the water before you come in.” Great Demon Gu Mozhi ordered.
The female ghost was outraged, F**k you, you big-headed ghost, they as ghosts have always been responsible for getting dirty and not cleaning up. If she made an exception this time, what face would she have to meet her colleagues next time? This human kid was too arrogant, this was the territory of them ghosts, and their Lord God was still watching from above!
The female ghost who felt that she had a backer didn’t talk nonsense with Gu Mozhi at all, she immediately got up and pounced again in the blink of an eye. Just now it was just a mistake, her movement was too slow and was cut off by the opponent, this time she will definitely kill this ignorant kid.

“Boom—” Another kick.
Olaaif ulgi: “……”
“Ahhh!” the female ghost yelled frantically, and rushed over again in a blink of an eye.
“Boom—” the third time.

The female ghost lay on the ground and did not respond for a long while.
“Can you still put away the dirty water?” Gu Mozhi scuffed the soles of his shoes clean once again while asking carelessly, “Don’t come in if you can’t.”
The female ghost playing dead slowly twitched and reluctantly got up from the ground, gave him a fearful look, and silently put away the dirty water on her body. After that, she changed from a fat person dripping with water to a fat person who was dry.
The female ghost was not very happy in her heart, but it was undeniable that she was indeed much cleaner like this.
Gu Mozhi nodded in satisfaction, and stepped out of the way: “That’s right, you are a girl, how can you not like to be clean? Come in.”
“…” The female ghost’s mouth corners twitched wildly, revealing a ferocious and forced smile. It made a lot of sense, and she couldn’t refute it at all.
The little girl looked at Gu Mozhi with sparkling eyes, big brother was amazing!
The female ghost stared grudgingly at Gu Mozhi, but her feet didn’t stop, walking straight toward the house. As she walked, she twisted her head and kept her eyes glued to Gu Mozhi, refusing to give up even after she had walked right in front of him and twisted her head 180 degrees.
Gu Mozhi ignored her resentful gaze, and stood there leisurely, waiting for her mourning to finish. He even licked his lips lightly, full of anticipation for a big meal.
Suddenly feeling a vicious chill, the female ghost shuddered and swished her head back, so fast that one wondered if she would twist her neck.
The female ghost stopped in front of the coffin, where a portrait and an incense burner were placed. She was silent for a while, opened her mouth, and asked in a hoarse voice, “Where is the incense?”
The players were confused, what incense?
The female college student was the first to realize that it should be that the female ghost wanted to offer incense. She held back the fear in her heart, and was about to go over to get it for the other party, but Gu Mozhi said impatiently: “Even if your brain was flooded with water, have your eyes been soaked and blinded? Take it yourself next to the incense burner, can you still use your hands?”
Why were there so many things to do before a meal? Hurry up and finish the process so he can start eating. If it weren’t for the fact that the guests’ mourning couldn’t be omitted as part of the rules, he wouldn’t have wasted so much effort with the food.
The female ghost did not dare to speak out, and swallowed her anger and picked up the incense by herself. She didn’t even dare to ask someone to light the fire for her, and she reached out to put the incense head in front of the lit candle in a very polite way. When the incense was lit, she quickly inserted it into the burner, turned around and left.
This unorthodox mourning could be considered to be over.
The players heaved a sigh of relief, and watched the female ghost leave happily. However, when things were about to end, there was always a little mistake.
The female ghost left reluctantly. She was walking very fast, but when she passed by Gu Mozhi, she couldn’t help but slow down, and she was still trying to cut this guy into pieces with her eyes. Never did she expect that Gu Mozhi would suddenly reach out and hold her down.
Female ghost: “???” You fucking dare to touch me!
She could no longer endure, she reached out and scratched back. However, her speed was not as fast as Gu Mozhi’s, and she was dodged.
In just the blink of an eye, Gu Mozhi took out a bead from her dantian, stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word, chewed it and swallowed it. The speed was so fast that the female ghost didn’t react at all.
Even the players in the distance didn’t see anything unusual. They only saw the female ghost approaching Gu Mozhi, then slowed down, and then the two suddenly scratched each other. No one was hurt, but the female ghost was stunned first.
The players were at a loss and didn’t know what happened.
The female ghost was completely dumbfounded, and she froze in place. Disbelievingly, she looked up at Gu Mozhi’s mouth and then down at her stomach. It was only after a long time that she accepted the fact of what had just happened.
Ghosts and monsters would form a kind of ghost bead in their dantian, which was condensed from the grievances, yin qi, and other breaths in the ghost’s body. That was the source of the ghost’s power, and a ghost that lost its ghost bead could be easily defeated even by an ordinary adult girl.
In a Demon’s menu, a ghost bead that wasn’t tainted with the breath of Purgatory was one of the most delicious delicacies. So Gu Mozhi’s so-called eating ghosts was actually just eating this bead. He had little interest in gnawing on the ghost’s soul, and he couldn’t put his mouth on it.
Now, the female ghost’s ghost bead had already been eaten by Gu Mozhi, and there was absolutely no possibility of getting it back. Her body trembled all of a sudden, not knowing whether she was infuriated or frightened.
Just when Gu Mozhi thought she would fight to the death, the ghost suddenly turned into a black light and rushed out of the mourning hall, disappearing instantly.
“Huh?” The little girl tilted her head, not understanding what was going on.
Gu Mozhi yawned after having a good meal, and pulled the little girl back to the previous position: “Okay, let’s go back to sleep.”
The female ghost’s temper was quite good. The ghosts he had eaten in Purgatory in the past would be so angry that they wanted to fight him to the death. Even if they couldn’t beat him, they would still scratch him a few times to vent their anger, unlike this wimpy female ghost.
Gu Mozhi estimated that there would be no more guests coming tonight, otherwise the difficulty of this novice instance would be too high. One ghost a night should be about right.
After a full meal, he could finally sleep peacefully.
Gu Mozhi was full of expectations for the future. He hadn’t seen such a pure ghost bead for a long time. It exuded a tempting food aroma, and the aftertaste lingered on his lips and teeth after eating it. This was simply the Demon’s treasure land, and he would never leave until he was tired of eating ghosts.
He hoped there were enough ghosts here to feed him.
Without the ghost beads, ghosts would slowly turn back into normal souls. Those without sins could be reincarnated directly, and those with sins would go to Hell to atone for their sins. Therefore, Gu Mozhi ate without pressure, and even felt that he was doing a good deed, by simply helping ghosts.
But he didn’t know that at this moment, the swollen female ghost was hugging the Lord God’s thigh and crying.
It was agreed that she would come to the Abyss Game from Purgatory, and she would work for the Lord God for a hundred years, and then she could go to a good re-birth. Now, the ghost bead was gone, what was she going to do with the remaining fourteen years? Without the ghost bead, she couldn’t even beat a little girl. How could she work part-time? If she couldn’t get into a good life in her next life, who would accompany her for the mental damage?
The Lord God had a headache and rubbed his temples helplessly: “Wait a minute, I’ll check the details of that player.”
Those who could eat ghost beads were definitely not normal humans, and they were probably Purgatory creatures. He had to go find the person in charge on the Purgatory side to have a good chat about life and talk about the compensation fee.
“Yingyingying.”
“…Stop howling. The one who ate your bead was probably a Purgatory Demon. If you have the ability, go and howl in front of him.”
The female ghost froze and disappeared without a trace.
She was right, it turned out to be a Demon. If she had known, she would not have come to deliver herself as food, it was too late to regret it now.
Anyway, she didn’t dare to go to Gu Mozhi to ask for compensation. After all, Demons just didn’t like to eat the souls of ghosts, which didn’t mean they couldn’t eat them. If she took the initiative to deliver herself to the door again, she might really be chewed up.
It was finally quiet, and the Lord God let out a sigh of relief, and quickly sent a message to Purgatory, asking them to investigate if they had recently lost a Demon. It was reasonable to say that Demons wouldn’t leave Purgatory and couldn’t find a way to leave, so the missing person could be easily found, and all he had to do was sit back and wait for the results.
Ela ~ Thank you Kathy for the Kofi!

Ty for the chapter!💜💜💜
Interesting so far. Thanks for the chapters!
The lord god’s belief that the demon would be found quickly sounds like a flag. I guess there are a lot of missing demons due to space instabilities or something
